      In The Other Olympians Thomas M. Robinson has dramatized the putative meeting of a series of notable philosophers, poets, dramatists, politicians, historians, and others at various Olympic Games held between the years 476 and 348 BCE. At these gatherings, held over three consecutive evenings, those imagined to be present leave the physical Games behind for a while, and engage in their own Olympics of the Mind. To date the plays have been performed in a number of universities around the world (in China, Spain, the USA, Greece, Italy, Germany, Romania, Venezuela, Russia, and Brazil); two have been performed for private audiences in Canada; and three have been published (in Chinese) by Peking University Press.

      Delving into the intricacies of Plato's cosmological writings, this book examines key themes, concepts, and philosophical implications within his works. It offers insights into Plato's views on the universe, the nature of reality, and the interplay between the physical and metaphysical realms. Through a critical analysis, the text highlights how these writings have influenced subsequent philosophical thought and continue to resonate in contemporary discussions on cosmology and existence.

      The book offers a critical reexamination of ancient Greek philosophy, challenging the notion that figures like Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and Plotinus hold anti-environmental views. It presents original essays that explore their perspectives on nature and ecology, arguing that despite their historical context, these philosophers can provide valuable insights for contemporary environmental ethics. The contributors suggest that the foundational ideas of these thinkers can be adapted to address modern environmental challenges effectively.
